Navigating Rupture and Repair in Supervision

Ruptures are a normal, likely inevitable, and sometimes messy part of supervision. These can include breakdowns in the bond between supervisor and supervisee and disagreements on the goals and tasks of supervision. This training will explore how to navigate through complex interactions within the supervisory relationship where there is an inherent power differential, interactions can be ambiguous or unspoken, and assumptions and biases can be activated. Training activities will include identifying causes of rupture, recognizing signs, and practicing repair skills, including process comments, critical self-awareness, wise affect, anti oppressive engagement, affirming sharing, validating the other’s experience, exploring the meaning of the rupture, acknowledging contributions to the rupture, and inviting collaboration in how to move forward.

This course is intended for practitioners of all backgrounds with and without supervision experience.
